Spare a thought for Nigel Farage this Christmas. The man who campaigned tirelessly for Brexit has complained in an interview that his career in politics had left him “separated and skint”. Brits can relate to that. His career in politics has left the UK in the same condition.

I’m afraid we are still living in a dumb-downed Farage era, Richard. The dumbed-down, cognitively dissonant Brexit non-debate is still reading out of the Farage book of disinformation.

Much of the Left is in cloud-cuckoo land thinking the EU can ‘reform’ (while it continues to strengthen its neo-lib, monetarist bias) and the Right is flogging spurious ‘sovereignty’ which is nothing more that corporatism and financialisation whilst waving a flag.

The shyster Farage has much of the responsibility for the latter by offering the wrong explanations for everything whilst dangerously channelling resentments the wrong way – a favourite neo-lib trick.

I suspect his use of the word ‘skint’ is just another add on to his ‘fag and pint’ trick in an attempt to appear to be blokey, man in the street Brit.

The public have had the uric acid ( Alas, poor Uric!) taken out of them for so long they no longer notice it!

Self pitying, self-obsessed, delusional and completely untrue. Exactly the kind of rubbish I’d expect from this wretched individual. And from all the other useless idiots involved in the anti EU campaign down the years.

I have no idea why he is skint, “separated” – hmmm – there is a young lady that lives on Square Orban (handy for the European Parliament) & to use the immortal terminology of Private Eye her & far-rage have been having discussions of a Ugandan nature – for some time. Mr Far-rages wife would appear to have decided enough is enough.

Many of us could just scrape by on an MEP’s €100K plus expenses. Never mind, he’ll soon have his wee blue book back – assuming they’re not illegal immigrants and know which of Henry the VIII’s wives was accused of adultery and executed.
